A member asked:

My chest is burning laying down and when i rub the middle of chest ribs it pains. when i sit up it is okay.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest wall: It appears that the rib cage has been strained and/or inflamed but with no lung or heart lining involvement. Causes could be exercises, occupational activities, being in drafts. Avoid strain. Apply alternating cold and heat treatments on tender areas and try taking anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen. See MD if not improved or development of cough,fever, breathing problems
